The 31st Annual 5K for Health directly benefits Cass Community Health Foundation's safety net dental clinic, Cass County Dental Clinic. The clinic treats thousands of children and teens who otherwise couldn't afford dental care at its two locations in Belton and Harrisonville each year. In 2023, we served the most children in a single year – more than 4,000. The demand for services has exceeded our capacity. As a result, we are building a new clinic that will allow us to increase our clinical space and access for quality, compassionate dental care. Your support of the 5K for Health ensures that smiles are created in Cass County and the surrounding area every day!

Our 5K begins and ends at Southwick Stadium in Belton, Missouri and circles the beautiful Cleveland Lake. After the race, stick around to enjoy the 5K Health Fair, complete with all-you-can-eat Chris Cakes, music, activities, and prizes!

Registration and check-in for the 5K begins at 7:30 a.m. at the Southwick Stadium entrance. If you are unable to attend packet pick up on Thursday, May 1, you can pick up your t-shirt and bib and drop off additional donations at registration and check-in. If you registered your dog, you will also be able to pick up your free dog bandana at registration and check-in. If you are walking or running with a team, please gather near the DJ for a group picture prior to the beginning of the 5K.
